Since Alicia Seberg’s killer had to take the antidote in order to handle the virus, they will try to escape before the Air Force drops an incendiary bomb on the facility. Griffin Welks emerges from the flood culvert exit from the facility where Rigsby and Cho await. Griffin had been quietly stealing the virus for sale on the black market and before someone realized that it was missing, he killed Alicia to cover his tracks. ...
